Xavier Worthy and Nick Emmanwori

My dad died of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease last year, which is like dementia on steroids. But 8 days before that we were in the ER for the 3rd time in a month and they gave him this test because they were trying to draw out the symptoms. I know we all laugh at this point, but it’s not nothing.

The plan: Instead of giving Knicks employees championship rings, use them as a lure to see who needs mandatory cybersecurity training

Corey Lewandowski is under investigating for not giving Trump a taste

this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

Six sept.

Yes, but you know, how dare I, as a trans woman, question the Democrats? open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

Outpacing his charitable giving by $445 million

NEW, from Bloomberg News: “Elon Musk has now given more than $445 million in the current election cycle.”

Hey guys, don’t worry, but there’s another recall. Nothing big, just your kids’ toothpaste. I mean, it’s not like they ingest it at all or anything. www.health.com/toothpaste-r...

The Columbus Dispatch has just endorsed Acton over Ramaswamy, citing the vile attack ad, and this piece will run in 20 newspapers across the state www.dispatch.com/story/opinio...

Vance just held an outrageous presser in which he defended Vivek's vile attacks on Acton, agreed w/ Witkoff's assessment of Putin as a "humanitarian," and had gall to claim "there's no person who hates people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the govt than Donald J Trump" Supercut:

The Bills defensive backs through six games: Interceptions: 2 Personal fouls/major penalties: 4 One-game suspensions issued: 2 Ejections: 1

Attorney General Todd Blanche says there's a "misperception that there's this separation and independence between the Department of Justice and the White House." "I work for President Trump."

like vance, ramaswamy is a hateful, resentful orc of a human being, and the reason i think this will hurt him politically — where this stuff didn’t hurt trump — is that ramaswamy, like vance, is also profoundly unlikeable. he has no charm or charisma or anything. just a dipshit.

JD Vance’s 2028 audition is going well, if you’re the type who likes when the government robs the taxpayer.

LMAO - questioner asks about corruption, giving Alina Habba as an example. The Attorney General, standing behind Vance, was at her wedding, which took place as the graft was happening. They both got their positions because they were Trump's personal defense lawyers. It is all the same club!

Trump pardoned billionaire banker Julio Herrera Velutini after his family guaranteed his former lawyer and DOJ adviser, Alina Habba, over $50 million. His daughter donated $3.5 million to Trump’s super PAC and pledged $2.5 million toward his White House ballroom.

Vance doesn't really defend the ad here, but he vilifies Republicans who have criticized it. "I'm a little bit disgusted when I see Republicans across the country who are whining more about that advertisement than they are about what the Democrats want to do to the USA."

if millennials could afford homes this wouldnt be a problem but this is going to hit the generation like a truck

THE NBA IS BAAAACK

Still nothing.

Some news alerts stop you in your tracks

I asked Copilot to transcribe hand written rantings of 1 through 5 in various identical spreadsheets from PDFs into Excel. It started to do it then literally gave up. Unregulated AI development and experimentation poses a danger to society and they are selling us absolute shit. Both are true.

This was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.

Very revealing moment for the press here. The unstated premise of this question is they cannot understand how Democrats are different from Republicans. That Democrats are capable of abstract, critical thought, and Republicans just use their mouths to reflexively echo.

a high ranking official (probably miller, blanche, or vance) is openly admitting this is a fishing expedition in national news. they just can't help themselves

There's a universe, like, two doors over where he's just a bitchy old queen living in a gorgeous UES penthouse with a handsome, buff, much younger man, and everybody in his building hates his guts, but I have never heard his name, not once.

They looked like shit, they scored 37 points, and they miraculously came out with a win. Is this what the Joe Brady era is?

So the Bills are good because Brandon Beane hit on one pick by accident and they had a good coach that could make pie out of the shit sandwich he was regularly served in defensive players.

Love that my opponent is trying to paint me as someone who wants political violence and meanwhile her party is going to execute someone on live tv (after already murdering multiple citizens in the streets and fishermen in boats)

Wait. This guy is 29? What is the GOP doing to our young men?

The only face-to-face meeting in the Colorado Gov's race was both odd and unsurprising. The questions and one candidate's answers were scripted in advance. Voters hoping to finally learn what Republican Victor Marx knows and believes only learned that he knows how to read.

A Tennessee appellate court has ruled that the killing of a woman may have been justifiable because she was trans. The court reversed a conviction, stating that the killer could have a new trial because the jury did not know the woman killed was trans. Trans panic in the modern era.

Trump: "The White House considers anyone that uses the term, 'Artificial Intelligence,' as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, 'Super Intelligence,' THE ENEMY! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Okay, Miley Cyrus. *complimentary*

“Every member of this ethnic group is a criminal who needs to be imprisoned by the state” is just pure uncut Nazi shit

this is honestly one of the worst and most irresponsible things he has ever posted, and that's really saying something

They all knew, but sucked-up anyway...

15 months later, Republicans have pulled ads from the NC Senate race and all but conceded it to Democrat Roy Cooper after the strategic genius Trump drove Tillis into leaving the senate.

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

Horrifying: Arizona Democratic congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia was raped by a man after he knocked her out. Another man approached her to do the same. “She began swinging her foot at him. ‘Not even worth it,’ she heard the man say as he moved away.”

Brazil currently under attack by the same US, Israel, Russia network, which adds context to why Brazilian intelligence findings prompted the government to reach out to France and Germany a week ago.

Oh. Awesome.

And yet there are millions who will continue to insist that racism isn’t a part of the fabric of this country.

WHY is he maligned, KIRK?!
